As someone that ran it for over a year, before getting a Win95 box, I don't disagree. But at the end of the day, it was still Win3.1x under the hood. Win95 was bloated at the time, sure, but after the first service pack I thought it was a huge improvement.

I bought the Windows 95 update disk on the day of release. Only then to find that it made my Pentium 60 and 8 MB of RAM unbearably slow.

In hindsight, Windows 95 was the OS to skip, Windows 98 was the one to go for.
